- and the name of the dictator is MIMAC - the Military-Industrial-Media-Academic Complex.

This piece of CNN news about Pentagon's new stratgey and budget is enough of a proof of the galloping perversity.

The world's 6,1 billion people should rise as one in protest and the U.S. be the object of sanctions if Pentagon's new world-threatening strategy and killing budget goes through!

If you had hopes about President Obama's "change" you underestimated the structures that have the capacity to make him a puppet on a string.

The U.S. itself - with bankrupt economy, hatred around the world, addicted to military violence and unable to see that its MIMAC is the main cause of the malaise - obviously cannot save itself. It needs the rest of the world, all its friends and it needs to re-invent democracy in the face of its dictatorial MIMAC.

Dwight D. Eisenhower warned the world in 1961.

To paraphrase the old Uncle Sam poster - America needs you! It needs us to save itself.

It's time for a worldwide, nonviolent confrontational movement with the U.S. MIMAC. Before it drags the whole world down into apocalypse.
